A post proving that the CH's number one goaltender still hasn't earned the respect of NHL fans, despite his impressive performances over the past two years.
You read that right. This is what was just published.
I'm not saying he deserves to be in the top-5 or even the top-10, but 34th is completely ridiculous.
Montembeault is ranked behind names such as Adin Hill, Alexandar Georgiev, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Joseph Woll, Charlie Lindgren, Connor Ingram, Darcy Kuemper, Anthony Stolarz, Jonathan Quick, Ilya Samsonov, Laurent Brossoit, and even Jake Allen.
Montembeault is behind many number 2 goaltenders in the NHL, which is really surprising.
It's sad to see how unrecognized his work is in the league.
The 27-year-old goaltender from Bécancour maintained a 3.14 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage last season behind one of the worst teams in the league.
He held an impressive positive record of 16-15-9.
And you, where would you place Samuel Montembeault in this ranking of the best goaltenders in the National Hockey League?
